We are all waking to another day of Covid-19, although hopeful that any approved vaccine will reach us and loved ones in time,before mortality strikes any devastating blow. Should it come too late, as for some of us it inevitably will, let our tears be joy as well as grief, celebrating a life and our having been a part of it.
LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT(ER) SIDE
Seagulls crying,
tide coming in fast, anxious
to offer consolation
Breaks in clouds,
a sunbeam breaking through,
hinting at a kinder day
A little light rain
as if to refresh a troubled Earth,
feed its hopes for spring
Skylarks, flocking
to new habitats, but continuing
sing us into wintry dawns
Humanity, waking
to yet another day of living fearful
of Covid-19 coronavirus
Tears, for loved one
spirited away on wings of mortality
to nests of remembrance
Nature, an example
to us all in persevering, keep looking
on the bright(er) side
